Freedom Or Fire

Fear Factory · Obsolete [1998]

How can you accept social suppression

This weak state of mind in our time

I demand release from hypocrisy

I'd rather die than be held down, forced down



Freedom or fire

Freedom or fire



I'm on the threshold of revolution

I'd rather burn than be held down, forced down



Freedom or fire

Freedom or fire



Unrestrained detonation

Set ablaze for liberation



Locked in chains of this sovereignty

Let me be 'cause I long to be

Free! Free!



Unrestrained detonation

Set ablaze for liberation

Set ablaze

Set ablaze



Freedom or fire
